We contributed to the advancement of current IR work based on corporate finance tracks such as ‘Principles of Finance’ and ‘Corporate Mergers and Acquisitions’. In the 'Mathematical Foundations of Finance' class using R programming, we opened a forum for knowledge where we could actively exchange opinions by creating and testing statistical hypotheses. During the lunch break between weekend classes, we had a picnic on the lawn in front of KUBS Main Building and made unforgettable memories. If you want to grow with passionate financial experts and reliable alumni, Korea University's Finance MBA is the best choice.
a financial expert”
Finance MBA is a place where you can acquire knowledge about finance and network with alumni who are active in the industry.
It was very beneficial and enjoyable to have the opportunity to systematically study financial accounting at Finance MBA. As an MBA specializing in finance,
I am confident that Finance MBA will be a choice you will not regret, as it will allow you to escape your ordinary daily life and acquire financial knowledge.
the best curriculum”
With Finance MBA, you can build memories with your classmates through various lectures. In the spring of 2024, Finance MBA's own outdoor bar was
operated during Korea University's Daedong Festival. When I shouted FM (self-introduction) at the top of my voice at a bar with my professor and classmates,
we became one. As I watch myself continue to develop, I am confident that a few years from now, when I look back on my current Finance MBA, I will be filled with proud
and fruitful experiences.
